Improving the Performance and Security of the TOTD DNS64 Implementation
نویسنده
چکیده
DNS64 and NAT64 IPv6 transition mechanisms are expected to play an important role in the near future to solve the problem that some of the new clients will not be able to get public IPv4 addresses and thus having only IPv6 addresses they still should be able to reach servers that have only IPv4 addresses. In our earlier experiments, the TOTD DNS64 implementation showed significantly better average performance than BIND, however TOTD was not stable, therefore now it was carefully tested to find the reason for its experienced strange behavior. Besides the detailed description of the testing method, the bug and the correction, a security vulnerability is disclosed and a patch is provided. The performance and the stability of the modified versions of TOTD are analyzed and compared to that of the original TOTD and BIND.

Performance analysis and comparison of four DNS64 implementations under different free operating systems
The depletion of the global IPv4 address pool made the deployment of IPv6, the new version of the Internet Protocol, inevitable. In this paper, the transition mechanisms for the first phase of IPv6 deployment are surveyed and the DNS64 plus NAT64 solution is found appropriate. The most important free and open source DNS64 implementations are selected: BIND, TOTD, Unbound and PowerDNS. The test ...
متن کاملTestbed for Security Analysis of the DNS64 IPv6 Transition Technology in Virtual Environment
In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of building a virtual network with several virtual Linux hosts for testing the security issues of the DNS64 IPv6 transition technology. This virtual testbed has so low hardware requirements that it can be operated under Windows 7 on an aging notebook having only 4GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores. We demonstrate the viability of the approach by testing diff...

متن کاملPerformance Analysis of MTD64, our Tiny Multi-Threaded DNS64 Server Implementation: Proof of Concept
In the current stage of IPv6 deployment, the combination of DNS64 and NAT64 is an important IPv6 transition technology, which can be used to enable IPv6 only clients to communicate with IPv4 only servers. In addition to the existing free software DNS64 implementations, we proposed a tiny multithreaded one, MTD64. In this paper, the performance of MTD64 is measured and compared to that of the in...
